Mooneyzs Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Holy Crapola Johnny Boy.... You have been a busy boy or did you crack the whip on your minions and put them all back to work. I have to say I am super impress and I have to tell you that the original frame looks like a big ole Turd. Then to see you add your Teresi Magic to it and the Bike looks 100 times better. I love what you have done with it. That thing looks Bad A$$ now. I can't wait to see what you do next on this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
